SFO to JFK to Barcelona
Our day began very early at 4 a.m. All packed and ready to go, we took Lyft to the airport. Very comfortable. We checked in, boarded our flight and were in the air at 8:30 a.m., flying to JFK.
At JFK we had dinner at Shack Shack and waited three hours for our flight to Barcelona.
We were in the air by 10 p.m. I watched three movies on the flight:
I saw The Bad News Bears as a kid and wondered how well the film stood up. Oh, it holds up beautifully. So funny, on point, nostalgic, smart, it's everything I remembered about the 70s. Can they make a movie like this anymore? Maybe, but somehow today's kid films feel a little bit sanitized. The final game was a bit too long, but other than that, this film is tight.
I enjoyed it, though I'm not sure the last 50 minutes is remotely possible. Matt Damon is always good.
I was in the right mood to give this film another try. There are moments that are so good, so memorable, so hilarious, but overall I'm not the biggest fan, though I do appreciate its brilliance and enduring cult status. The Dude abides.
I didn't sleep at all on our flight, but read, watched other TV shows, and ate and drank whatever the stewardesses gave me. It was a long but enjoyable flight. Delta is pretty good.
